Before we start, there is a bug in the OTA (over the air) update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.5 that prevents Navit from working. To check for the bug open a Terminal or Novaterm and issue this command 'cat /etc/fstab|grep internal'. You should get the following line:

We start a new thread here as the old one contains a lot of information that is not valid anymore.
Remove the Alpha packages of Navit, espeak and local if you had installed them. You data and maps will be migrated to the new locations.

We still would be happy if sombody would take the task for Mojo map download appliaction:

The Planet extractor has an web API to download maps. The App would only need to present a list of predefined countries, make the right call to the api to get the current map file and store it at the right place.

If you look at the links you will see that the four parameter are only a the coordinates for the box of the Navit map.

So we would welcome everybody how chimes in for that map downloader application. You can find noradtux and me in the webosinternals irc chat.

The roadmap of the Navit team can be found here Roadmap for Navit
For all how are interested what the original Navit team is working on to change/fix in the next version. If the change was made in the original Navit code you can expect that it will show up in the Navit port soon.

I have a Sprint Pre with webOS 1.4.1.1
I have the current version of alpha Navit.

Once I upgrade to 1.4.5, will I need to remove the old version and install the new version from Preware, or can I just update from Preware?
What about espeak and locale, are they part of the new preware version Navit or they will also need to be installed seperately?

GSM Pre with 1.4.5 here. After installing and rebooting Navit still does not launch for me. Icon glows, glow dissapears and that's all. Looking simultaneously at jstop it doesn't look like anything is being launched.

Does this lead back to the same problem as pinguinXY has?

check if you have the folder /appdata/org.webosinternals.navit on your USB drive?
Is there a navit.log if yes. Check it for errors if it is there.
